Cursor from Select Widget not disappearing on Widget Window close

[ola]

I have come acrosss a weird behavior of the Widget Window and Select Widget. When I close the window, not minimising it, the expected behavior if the Select Widget cursor is activated would be to close too in my opinion. It does not close but remain active even when the widget window is closed. Is this a bug? If not, it would be very useful to have the option to have the Select Widget terminate completely when closing the widget window. I have attached a GIF recording of the mentioned behavior.

I think this falls in the category of "intended behavior", but I'm not sure it is the best design decision. In your case, it could be helpful reaching a feature that might be hidden behind the Widget Panel. By design, the end-user must click back on the Select Tool to turn off selection mode.

Most people I have user tested this web app with find it confusing as an 'X' usually indicates closing (quitting) an application or in this case a widget. So when the select tool doesn't disappear when quitting the widget with the 'X' button this breaks that design pattern and how people are used to interact with the GUI. Since the widget has a minimise window button, that further indicates that the 'X' button should quit the widget and its processes.

It would be interesting to hear from the Experience Builder designers if this is indeed the intended behavior.

Hi @ola @JeffreyThompson2,

We plan to fix this in this release. Cursor from Select Widget will disappear when closing widows. 

I will keep you update.

Thanks,

That is great to hear. I am looking forward to seeing that update. We are launching a huge internal Experience Builder (map app) for our organisation aimed at users who have little-to-no GIS experience, who just want to see our map data, so every little detail like this makes a huge difference in the on-boarding process. Thanks!
